Course Objectives The main purpose of the Course is to prepare the theoretical base for the Design Studios. This course addresses human needs and comfort in relation to the artificial lighting as an art and science. Its aim is to acquaint each student with the basic concepts how artificial lighting may be utilized, controlled, and modified as an integral part of interior architectural design.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Learning fundamentals of human needs and comfort in relation to the artificial lighting as an art and science.
  • Developing basic systems, strategies and concepts how lighting may be utilized, controlled, and modified.
  • Learning about lighting products and how to develop creative atmospheres by means of lighting techniques.
  • Develop problem solving skills.
  • Learning the technical and artistic aspects of artificial lighting and implementation techniques.
Course Content Preparing the theoretical base for the Design Studios by addressing human needs and comfort in relation to the artificial lighting as an art and science.
